the senate hearing between feinstein and crews, that back-and-forth was just, i thought shameful. when she said, isn't that enough? don't you have enough guns to make a tough, isn't that their argument for everything? isn't enough money? isn't it enough health care? don't you have enough already? can you let us control you even more? and that is what they're trying to do. lou: is that what you think they're trying to do? >> not at all. i mean, i guess, you know, what they said basically was everybody should have a gun everywhere, including a round are most vulnerable citizens to our children. i just think not only do i think that is silly but it is not effective. you look back at places like columbine. there was an armed guard, and he was shot and killed. you know what, it is not a guarantee of any security, added security for our children are safety. yesterday i had exactly the opposite reaction you know, i thought he was condescending and reared. you think about what dianne feinstein went through as mayor of san francisco where she saw people slaughtered in her own office. i mea

[applause] that's what they would do. and that's with the public wants. but they do not do that. what they do instead, if they let them go free. let's talk for a minute about this thing called sequestration. i run the nra. not an economic think tank. but i watch the news. i see that instead of rational belt-tightening, the first thing the government thinks to do, according to law-enforcement officials, and let thousands of criminal illegals out of jail. you know what? normal people all over the country think that's crazy.
